Has a friendship or relationship worked out for anyone after meeting from SW?

Can social media make it more difficult for friendships or relationships to happen because of a trust issue, or is the risk worth taking?

I had a really good friend that I met on here a few years ago. We become best friends but we don’t talk anymore, and we never actually got the chance to meet up. I think it might be hard to trust someone you met online sometimes especially on here. But I would be up for it if I really trusted and liked someone

@SW-User It's a hard thing in getting to really know anyone online because you can never be really sure of who they are, not something I would ever do, although I'm happy it does work out for some.

@poetryandwine That’s true, but I make sure they are who they say they are. And if they can’t video chat with me keep making excuses then I know something is up and I don’t talk to them anymore. Same I’m happy for people that it did work out for, it definitely gives you hope

Why should it be any harder than it is with someone you first meet in 'real' life.
